New York City Opera’s production of Angels in America officially opened June 10. The opera, which marks the conclusion of the company's 2016–2017 season, adapts Tony Kushner’s two-part Pulitzer Prize-winning drama into one two-act performance.

The title is the inaugural production of New York City Opera's Pride initiative; the company will present works that highlight LGBT issues each June. Next season's lineup includes the U.S. premiere of Brokeback Mountain, which was first commissioned by NYCO in 2008.

The cast also includes Andrew Garland as Prior, Aaron Bake as Louis, Sarah Beckham-Turner as Harper, Wayne Tigges as Roy Cohn, Michael Weyandt as Joe, Sarah Castle as Hannah, Matthew Reese as Belize, and Kirsten Chambers as the Angel.
